Trans Lives In Russia – Lily
Abstract
This is written by a person named Lilly who is currently living in a censored part of the world - Russia. This document provides a detailed personal and historical account of LGBTQ+ life in Russia from the 1990s to the present. It explores the evolving societal attitudes, legal changes, and political shifts affecting the queer and transgender communities. From the initial openness of the 1990s amid post-Soviet turmoil to the increasing government restrictions in the 2010s and the severe repression of trans rights following the war, this text offers a firsthand perspective on survival, resilience, and the struggle for identity in an increasingly hostile environment.
